It will be a day of crowds
of people, auctioneers
calling out bids and lots
of the word “Sold!” being
said this Saturday at Martin Luther High School in
Northrop.
The high school is having its 12th annual “Gen-

Buddy Holly Tribute Appearing at Fairmont Opera House
“RAVEON! The Buddy
Holly Experience” will
hit the stage of the Fairmont Opera House on
Friday, January 8th at
7:30 p.m.
Rave On! re-invents
the ordinary tribute
show with an electrifying, high-energy, rock n’
roll extravaganza featuring America’s premiere
Buddy Holly interpreter,
Billy McGuigan, a deadringer for the legendary
rocker. Backed by the
rockin’ Rave On Band,
their incredible musicianship helps ignite the
stage and breathe new
life into the music of
Buddy Holly.
In this rock and roll
tour-de-force, audienc-
es will experience all the
thrills of a Buddy Holly
concert
re-imagined
which includes such hits
as “Peggy Sue,” “Raining
in My Heart,” “It’s So Easy,”
“That’ll Be the Day,” “True
Love Ways,” “Oh Boy” and
of course, “Rave On.” But,
that’s only part of it! In a
unique twist, Billy as Buddy celebrates the birth of
an era and pays homage
to his fellow rockers Jerry
Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley,
Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.
Billy McGuigan has received national attention
and critical acclaim for his
portrayals of the legendary Buddy Holly. The role
of Buddy has taken him
all over the United States,
having appeared in over
400 performances of Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story.

Fairmont Area High
School students are working hard on last minute
touches for a fundraiser
featuring a variety of acts
by the students themselves in a benefit for the
Kids Against Hunger Food
Pack.
Fairmont student Clair
Gerhardt is coordinating
the event that was first
started last year as a fundraising event for the Kids
Against Hunger Food Pack
in Fairmont.

Martin County is THE PLACE to Be
Surrounded as we are
by agriculture, some may
think our humble South
Central Minnesota county
is nothing more than an ag
hub. But that’s far from the
truth. Our county is abundant in manufacturing, retail, and service establishments, and there are many
opportunities for the
growth of these segments.
Some of the initiatives
Martin County Economic
Development has been
working on in 2015 and
will continue in 2016, to facilitate this growth involve
expanding broadband internet service, and Brain
Gain which encourages
families to relocate from
big cities to our smaller
communities that offer a
better quality of life.
Recently Martin County
was selected as a Blandin
Foundation Broadband
Community. This program encourages community engagement and
collaboration to develop
programs that improve
broadband education and
access.
With the help of a Blandin Foundation grant,
Martin County was able

In The New Year, Military Families Need Support
by Rick Hunt
Most troops have returned home from the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fewer than 10,000
U.S. soldiers remain in
Afghanistan, down from
a peak of more than
100,000 in June 2011.
Only about 3,000 remain
in Iraq, down from more
than 166,000 in October
2007.
But life isn’t necessarily back to normal for
service members and
their families. While we
have fewer troops on the
ground, we’re still covering the skies and the
seas. Our naval presence
is as high as it’s been for
decades. Turmoil in the
Middle East, Europe and
the Asia-Pacific has our
military in a state of constant readiness.
All that adds up to this:
Times are not getting
easier for the men and
women of the military
and their families. They
need our support today
as much as ever. And as
we enjoy the holiday season, we should remember
this fact.
The demands on our
servicemen and women
remain high, and I’m not
just talking about those
who are forward-deployed. Anyone who has
served at home knows that
stateside duty is demanding in its own right.
When you’re overseas,
you’re expected to miss
birthday parties, graduations and anniversaries.
Your family understands
why you’re not there. But
when you’re back home,
your family expects you to
be around, even though
much of your time is still
not your own. The schedule is strenuous, the hours
are long and you’re often
focused on preparing for
the next deployment.
You get a few hours to
rest, then it’s back to work.
Your family still needs you
-- and you need them -but your obligation to the
service is ironclad.
Civilians have taken to
calling this work-life balance. Military families
have long known it simply
as the way life is.
I bring this up because
while we rightly praise the
service and sacrifices that
millions of servicemen
and women have made for
our nation, we rarely give
enough credit to the families. They’re the ones who
help service members stay
resolute.
Veterans and their families deserve our support
and resources. It’s too easy
to ignore the many sacrifices that these families
make each day.
Fortunately,
policymakers - including military veterans, by no coincidence - have come
through on this front.
Child
development
centers help young military families make ends
meet. Base housing eases the stress of frequent
moves. First-rate medical
care helps keep service
members and families
healthy. And access to
counseling -- whether
before deployment or after -- helps families work
through their demanding lifestyle.
Even seemingly little
things matter, like the
cheaper groceries at onbase commissaries.
Continued
government support helps, but
it isn’t enough. Privatesector programs for veterans and their families
help fill the gap.
There is still more we
can all do. We should collectively advocate across
public and private sectors to increase support
for our service members
and veterans.
We must make clear
to our servicemen and
women that our commitment to them and their
families is unwavering.

Adm. Rick Hunt is vice
president of the Raytheon
U.S. Business Development organization.
MCHS Fairmont Offers Hospice Volunteer Training
Mayo Clinic Health System Hospice invites men
and women 18 and older
to become a volunteer for
those in need. Mayo Clinic
Health System in Fairmont will hold its two-day
hospice volunteer training Monday, January 11th
and Tuesday, January 12th
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in
the main classroom of the
medical center, located at
800 Medical Center Drive
in Fairmont. Attendance of
both sessions is required.
“Mayo Clinic Health
System recently expanded
regional Hospice services
to the Fairmont area, so
we’re in need of additional
committed, compassionate volunteers,” says Kim
Rotchadl, hospice volunteer coordinator at Mayo
Clinic Health System. “The
ideal volunteer is someone who understands that
the transition toward the
end of life can be a beautiful experience.”
Volunteers go through
a two-day, formal training
process where lectures,
role playing, team projects
and videos prepare them
for hospice care. They
learn about bereavement,
body mechanics, communication, feeding, infection control, pain management and proper patient
transfer techniques.
Once finished with
training, volunteers visit
patients once or twice
per week and interact
through
conversation,
meal assistance and light
housekeeping. Most importantly, they’re a vital
contributor to the patient’s
supportive care team.
Hospice refers to sup-
portive care that assists patients in living comfortably
and to their fullest extent.
Hospice is one component of the broader palliative care delivery, which is
a multidisciplinary team
approach to caring for seriously ill people and their
families. Volunteers offer
comfort to patients and respite to caregivers.

New Year’s Resolution –
Healthier Kids
Veterans - Did You Serve at Camp Lejeune?
Guest Columnist
Dr. Scott Burtis, M.S., D.C., Burtis Chiropractic Center
With the New Year already a few days old many
of us are already second
guessing our resolutions.
Did you start going to the
gym yet? Did you already
stop? Did you start eating
healthier? Start going to
church again (don’t say
yes if the next service you
expect to attend is Easter)?
While many of us focus our resolutions on a
fresh start for ourselves,
how many of you make
resolutions that center on
your whole family? Spend
more time with your kids,
eat better meals together
at the table, and go to
church more as a family?
Do you see the pattern I
am developing? When you
see things from this angle,
you not only develop a
support group, but you
begin to teach your kids
about a healthier way of
living.
One of the small steps
you can take is starting
your kids on a daily multivitamin. But perhaps you
have heard that you don’t
need a daily multivitamin, you just have to eat
healthy. That is fine, all
you people who eat all organic fruits and vegetables
(4-6 servings a day), free
range grass fed beef, and
live stress free lives are
hereby excused. I have not
met one yet. The Center
for Disease Control tells
us that the average American eats only one serving of fruit or vegetable a
day, and 93% of children
do not get enough fruits
and vegetables. The Journal of Pediatrics tells that
1 in 3 children do not get
enough calcium and vitamin D on a daily basis.
off the shelf is fine. If you
believe this I suggest you
ask your medical doctor if
they have any antibiotics
made by companies that
have cartoon characters as
their spokesperson. There
is a wide variety of quality,
so choose carefully. And
expect to pay more for
quality.
The Journal of
Pediatrics tells that
1 in 3 children do
not get enough
calcium and
vitamin D on a
daily basis.
If you are going to give
your children a daily multi
(or any vitamins and supplements) the first thing I
recommend as both a doctor and a nutritionist is that
you recognize that you get
what you pay for. Do you
really think that vitamins
that make your kid say
“Yabadaba-doo” are serious vitamins? That same
brand has been found to
have unacceptable levels
of lead and other heavy
metals. Do you want to
give your child lead along
with their vitamin C? Also
be wary of any vitamins or
You may have also supplements produced in
heard that all vitamins are China. That is where the
alike, and that anything most problems have been
found in recent years.
I suggest you choose
your children’s vitamins
the way you would choose
their prescription drugs.
You certainly don’t costcompare antibiotics, and
you should treat their vitamins the same. At Burtis Chiropractic we only
supply professional grade
supplements and this includes the children’s vitamins we offer. They are
non-GMO and dairy and
gluten-free.
One important thing we
did recently was to taste
test the top professional
brands. Both our staff and
our staff’s children assisted us in this. If there
was any “yuck-factor”, we
threw them out. We finally
found high quality products that taste great and
supply good levels of vitamins at high quality ratings. We offer a daily multi
vitamin as well as vitamin
D, DHA, and fish oils that
all taste great and will give
your kids a better chance
of being healthy.

it plans to propose expanded disability compensation eligibility for
Veterans exposed to contaminated drinking water while assigned to Marine Corps Base Camp
Lejeune.
From 1953 to 1987,
water sources at the base
were contaminated with
industrial solvents that
are correlated with certain health conditions.
“The water at Camp
Lejeune was a hidden
hazard, and it is only
years later that we know
how dangerous it was,”
said Secretary McDonald.

What’s Cooking
with Kathy Lloyd
French Silk Pie
Always room for pie!
Our Maggie is glad the holidays are over! Our son
John brought his 10 week old German Shepherd
puppy along for their holiday overnight visit. This
puppy is very playful and three times as large as our
Maggie, so she was intimidated to say the least. Either I or Pa Lloyd had to hold her all the time and
not just on our laps but on our shoulder - practically
around our necks! The puppy had the nerve to make
herself comfortable in Maggie’s bed so even though
we washed her blankey after our guests left she
wouldn’t go near it. We threw out the old bed and got
her a new one and it’s taken a week to use it! It took
her a day after they left before we didn’t have to hold
her most of the time. I should say that Maggie is shy
of other dogs, but this was carried to the extreme! I
told our son if we had to put our Maggie in therapy
we would send him the bill.
Whenever I have a family dinner, my daughter
Mary requests French Silk Pie. She brought me the
recipe when she was a teenager and was a guest at
the home of her friend Maureen whose mom, Mary
Gail Lau, had served this pie. Mary was kind enough
to share her recipe. The addition of the cool whip
lightens up the richness of the pie. The secret is to
beat a good five minutes after the addition of each
egg - that makes the pie “silky”!
French Silk Pie:
1 baked regular crust or a crumb crust such a graham cracker, chocolate crumb or shortbread crust
1 stick (1/2 cup) real butter, no substitutes
3/4 cup sugar
2 squares melted unsweetened chocolate, cooled
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups cool whip
Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy then
beat in melted chocolate, then beat in eggs one at
a time beating on high at least 5 minutes after each
egg, add vanilla and fold in cool whip. Pour into
crust, chill at least 2 hours , best to chill overnight before serving. Have a great week!

Ask A Trooper:
Flashing High Beams
by Sgt. Troy Christianson,
Minnesota State Patrol
Question: At a recent
gathering, a friend related a story to me that really surprised me. He was
traveling along a local
road at night when a car
came toward him with his
high beams on. My friend
flashed his high beams to
ask him to switch to lows,
but the car ignored him.
So, my friend flashed
them again, and again
the car ignored him. After he passed, the car
that was behind the “offender” made a U-turn
and turned his flashers
on. It was a patrolman.
He did not give my friend
a ticket, but said it was
illegal in Minnesota to
flash your high beams at
oncoming cars. Can that
possibly be right? If so,
what are we supposed
to do in that situation as
some high beams, especially on some trucks,
can be very blinding?
– look toward the fog line
(the white line near the
shoulder) until the vehicle
passes by or dims their
lights. Be sure to watch the
oncoming vehicle out of
the corner of your eye.
Do not attempt to retaliate against the other
driver by keeping your
high beams on or by flashing them. If you do, both of
you may be blinded, making a bad situation worse.
The law also requires
that drivers use low beams
when following another
vehicle at 200 feet or less.
For glare caused by headlights from behind you,
use a “day-night” mirror
or re-adjust your regular
mirror.
Take personal responsibility for your actions
behind the wheel. If you
want to be safer, always
drive with your headlights
on, but be careful of those
bright lights and don’t forget to buckle up, drive at

Childhood Asthma May Increase Risks of Shingles
of the five most burdensome chronic diseases in
the U.S., affecting up to
17 percent of the population,” says lead author
Young Juhn, M.D., who is
a general academic pediatrician and asthma epidemiologist at the Mayo
Clinic Children’s Research
Center. “The effect of asthma on the risk of infection
or immune dysfunction
might very well go beyond
the airways.”
Medical records for
potential patients with
shingles were reviewed
in Olmsted County, Minnesota, where 371 cases
with shingles — age 67 on
average — were identified
during the study period
and compared against 742

371 shingles cases, 23 percent (87 individuals) had

authors found that adults

developing shingles, compared to those without

The researchers also
noted that, with asthma
and other atopic conditions accounted for, both
asthma and atopic dermatitis were found to be independently associated with
a higher risk of shingles.
Shingles occurred at a rate
of 12 percent in patients
with atopic dermatitis (45
of 371 shingles cases) versus 8 percent (58 of 742) of
the control subjects.
The underlying mechanisms are not clear; however, impairment in innate
immune functions in the
skin and airways is welldocumented in patients
with asthma or atopic dermatitis. Researchers believe that, because asthma

immunity, it may increase
the risk of varicella zoster
virus reactivation.
“As asthma is an unrecognized risk factor for
zoster in adults, consideration should be given to
immunizing adults aged
50 years and older with
asthma or atopic dermatitis as a target group for
zoster vaccination,” Dr.
Juhn concludes.
The researchers note
that neither inhaled corticosteroids nor vaccinations were associated with
a higher risk of shingles.
Rather, zoster vaccination
was associated with a lower risk of shingles.

Nearly 1 million incidences of herpes zoster,
which is also known as
shingles, occur every year
in the U.S., with an estimated one-third of all
adults affected by age 80.
Despite its prevalence,
particularly between ages
50 and 59, it is still unclear why some individuals will develop shingles,
and others will not. In a
population-based study
published in the Journal
of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (JACI), Mayo
Clinic researchers build
on their previous research
from 2013, which linked
asthma in childhood with
an increased risk of shingles.

Jeff’s Jottings
I
officially put up the
new 2016 calendar
on the wall of my
office this morning
and remember thinking
that 2015 went way too
fast! I hope this year slows
down a little bit because I
didn’t get nearly enough
accomplished in the past
year. Do I take part in New
Year’s resolutions? The
answer is “NO”. I used to
take in the yearly ritual
of setting goals for myself
in the form of New Year’s
resolutions. Many of those
goals would last around
a month (if I was lucky)
and then they would be
forgotten. So, in the past
few years, I have resigned
myself to the fact that I will
not follow my resolutions
anyway, so why do it in the
first place? I set enough
goals in my day-to-day life
throughout the year and
that is good enough for
me. Could I stand to lose
some weight or become
better organized? Yes, but
I have worked on those
things for so long that it
now is just another chal-
I’m writing to share
our experience with Kids
Against Hunger. The Fairmont National Guard Armory will host the 2016
event on February 13th.
This will be my fourth
lenge for me every day of
the year.
Love it or hate it,
it’s here!
So, our snow lovers
should now be happy
that we have a nice layer
of snow on the ground for
them to “play” in. I would
estimate that we had between 10 inches and a
foot of snow that fell last
year participating and I
have to say it is an amazing
experience.
I work for TPI Hospitality and three years
ago we put together our
first team to pack food at
week out at the farm. My
sister Angie Leiding, who
lives about three miles
west of my farm, took out
her trusty tape measure
to get a depth of the snow
on their farm. Luckily it
wasn’t the heavy wet snow
that I was expecting, so it
moved pretty easily once
I got the tractor and snow
blower fired up. I know
that my sisters and their
families liked the fact that
they could now go out on
their snowmobiles and
four-wheelers
in the snow. For
me, it was just
another
nuisance, but one
that I could easily fix with the
snow moving
equipment.
Is that you,
Tom?
It
seems
that there is a
friendly
wild
turkey
hanging around the
Trimont
area
lately. I saw a
posting on Facebook last week
from
Bridget
Blue (who is
from Welcome TV) and
she said that the turkey
was there to greet her
when she returned home
Kids Against Hunger. We
started with one team of
12 employees and now we
have a group of over 50,
and it is growing. It’s growing because our staff and
their families come together to do nice things for
others, and this is a perfect
event to do just that.
You work for a couple
of hours packing food,
and we have kids as young
as 3 to elderly adults who

from work last week for
a couple days. My sister
Larissa works west of Trimont and last week posted
a picture on Facebook of
the turkey patiently waiting for Bridget to return
home. It is not unusual
for wild turkeys to be seen
around the area the past
couple years as their numbers have been growing
in population. I have seen
some wild turkeys myself while driving around
the countryside the past
couple years, which is
good to see since I have
wondered if the growing
coyote population in this
area may have been affecting the populations of wild
turkeys and pheasants. I
guess we will have to see
if Bridget decides to adopt
her “new-found friend” as
a pet or not!

10 0 y e a r s p r o u d
Kiwanis International celebrated its 100th
Anniversary in 2015 and in observance of this
event, we are spotlighting Fairmont area’s two
Kiwanis Clubs and their members.
Le o n a rd Wor t h
Leonard Worth is our
newest Kiwanis member.
Leonard and his wife
Kathryn moved to Fairmont in November of
2015. They have been
married 48 years and
have two children. Their
son lives in New Ulm and
their daughter and her
family live in Fairmont.
The Worths began their married life as a farming
family, but due to a farm accident, they had to leave
the farm. Leonard went to work with John Deere, in
sales, as a manager and as a store owner for a number of years. He then started a computer software
company and worked at that until shortly before
retirement. The Worths’ daughter was a foreign exchange student and her Danish sister came to live
with them for the next year. They have also hosted a
boy from Switzerland.
Over the years Leonard has been involved in many
community activities. Since retiring, he and Kathryn
have traveled. Leonard enjoys being a genealogist, “I
find lost people.” He also does public speaking and is
very involved with the Sons of Norway.
This first year, Leonard will be slowly getting involved in Kiwanis projects. The Kiwanis dedication
to community is a major focus of his as Leonard is
also working on starting a Sons of Norway Chapter in
the area. He does speaking programs for the “Sons”
and will have a family coming here from Norway for
a three week visit as well as guests from Texas. The
Worths are also working on several other community related projects.
Early Risers Kiwanis meets every Wednesday
at 6:30 a.m. at The Ranch Restaurant.
Uptown Kiwanis meets every other Tuesday
at noon at Tami’s on the Ave.
For more information or to become a member,
contact: Uptown Club President Louise Hendricks, 235-3090; Early Risers Club President
Mike Katzenmeyer, 235-9534.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers, dedicated to improving the world,
one child and one community at a time.
Three Tips for Surviving Cold and Flu Season
(StatePoint) It’s that
time of year again. From
minor colds to severe flus
and fevers, seasonal sicknesses are unpredictable
and can sneak up on your
family at any time.
Unfortunately,
even
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
cannot predict the timing, severity and length
of a seasonal virus. Luckily, there are steps you can
take to ward off illness and
better monitor symptoms
when you’re sick.
Check in with
Your Doctor
Make an appointment
with your primary care
physician to get a look at
the family’s vitals. These
are good indicators of
overall wellness. Plus, it’s
a great time to schedule
that annual flu shot, if you
haven’t already done this.
If you’re pregnant, have
kids, or are a caregiver
to elderly parents, it’s an
even better idea to get
vaccinated, as these are
the most at-risk groups
for complications from
flu. If you don’t have time
to schedule a full exam,
many pharmacies like
CVS offer quick, in-store
vaccinations.
Keep Your Cool
Even the best preparation can leave your family
susceptible to cold and flu.
Fever and chills could be
a sign you’re getting sick.
Remember, a fever isn’t always a bad thing. It means
your body is working hard
to fight off infection. But
for parents of small children, putting feverish kids
to bed at night can still be
unnerving.
New technology can
help you rest at night. For
example, TempTraq, avail-
able at Amazon.com, is
a Bluetooth
wearable
temperature
monitor in
the form of a
soft, comfortable patch.
It
records
your child’s
temperature
every
10 seconds
for 24 hours,
sending the
data to your
smartphone
via a free,
downloadable app. You
can view realtime data or
receive alerts
when your
child reaches a user-set
“red zone” level.
“A 24-hour temperature monitor that continuously records a child’s
temperature
readings
could alleviate many parent’s concerns when caring for a sick child,” says
Aris Eliades, director of
Nursing research, Akron
Children’s Hospital. “The
child can rest, the parent
can be alerted if anything
changes, and we as nurses
and physicians get needed
information to make better decisions for patients.”

2015 ARC-CO
Payments Will Vary
Guest Columnist
Kent Thiesse, Farm Management Analyst; VP, MinnStar Bank
Phone: (507) 381-7960 • E-mail: [email protected]
A very high percentage of crop producers in
the U.S. are enrolled in
the county yield-based Ag
Risk Coverage (ARC-CO)
farm program choice on
their corn and soybean
base acres for the 2014 to
2018 crop years. Most producers in the Upper Midwest earned a significant
corn ARC-CO payment for
the 2014 crop year, while
farm operators in some
counties also earned a
substantial 2014 ARC-CO
payment on their soybean
base acres. Even though
average corn and soybean
price levels have remained
quite low, 2015 corn and
soybean ARC-CO payments in the Upper Midwest are likely to be much
more variable, due to the
very strong 2015 corn and
soybean yield levels across
the region.
The benchmark (BM)
prices for corn and soybeans for the 2015 crop
year remained the same as
2014 BM prices, which are
$5.29 per bushel for corn
and $12.27 per bushel for
soybeans. The BM prices
are adjusted each year, using the USDA market-year
average (MYA) price for
the preceding five years,
then dropping the high
and low MYA price, and
averaging the other three
MYA prices.
The County benchmark
yield for 2015 is the average County yield from
2010-2014, dropping the
high yield year and the
low yield year, and averaging the other three years.
Producers in the many areas of the Upper Midwest
should be aware that 2015
County BM yields may be
slightly lower than 2014
BM yields, especially for
corn. This is due to the
lower than average 2014
corn and soybean yields,
and dropping the 2009
crop year, which featured
above average yields in
many areas.
Once the County BM
yield is determined for
2015, we can make some
2015 ARC-CO payment
estimates at various final
2015 County yield levels.
2015 ARC-CO payments
for all crops will be paid
in October, 2016. Previous county yields for corn,
soybeans, and other crops,
benchmark yields and
revenues, 2014 ARC-CO
payment levels, and other
farm program information is available on the
FSA ARC-PLC web site at :
www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc
The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) will likely release
the 2015 estimated average County yields for corn,
soybeans, and other crops
in late February, 2016. The
NASS county yields will
offer a good estimate of
where final 2015 ARC-CO
farm program payments
are likely to end up, depending on the final 2015
MYA price level, which
will be finalized on September 30, 2016. The NASS
yields may be adjusted
slightly by USDA to arrive
at the final 2015 County
FSA yields, which are used
to calculate the 2015 ARCCO payments.
2015 ARC-CO payments for a given crop will
be paid when the actual
2015 County revenue for
the crop falls below the
2015 County benchmark
revenue guarantee for that
crop. The actual County
revenue is the 2015 final
County yield times the final MYA price for 2015.
The 2015 MYA price is the
national average corn or
soybean price from September 1st, 2015 to August
31st, 2016. The MYA prices
will be finalized on September 30th, 2016. The estimated 2015 MYA prices
are $3.65 per bushel for
corn, and $8.90 per bushel
for soybeans (as of 12-0915).
The relationship between the final 2015
County yield and the 2015
County benchmark yields
is extremely important in
calculating potential 2015
ARC-CO payments for
corn and soybeans. Expressing the 2015 County
yield as a “% of Benchmark Yield” is more important than the final
County yield in determining estimated ARC-CO
payments. Two counties
with the same 2015 yield
for a crop can have a large
variation in the final 2015
ARC-CO payments, due to
differences in the County
BM yield, and differences
in the “% of BM Yield”.
There will likely be a
significant difference in
the estimated 2015 ARCCO payments from County-to-County, depending
on the final 2015 County
yield, expressed as a “% of
BM Yield”. Counties in the
Upper Midwest are likely
to have a wide-range in
2015 ARC-CO payments
for both corn and soybeans, with many counties getting some 2015
ARC-CO payment for
corn. 2015 ARC-CO payments for soybeans will be
much less likely in many
areas. The estimated ARCCO payments for corn and
soybeans will be different
in many areas of Illinois,
Indiana, and Missouri,
which had much lower
County yields in 2015, and
likely a lower “% of BM
Yield”. Many counties in
these States are likely to
realize much more significant 2015 ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans.
There can also be a
wide variation in the ARCCO payment levels for the
same crop in neighboring
counties within the same
State. For example, one
County may have a 2015
corn yield that results in a
“% of BM yield” of 108%,
and thus producers in that
County would receive the
maximum 2015 corn ARCCO payment. However,
the neighboring County
may have the same 2015
corn yield, but have a lower 2015 BM yield, resulting
in a 2015 “% of BM yield”
of 120%, and producers
would likely receive only
30% of the maximum
2015 ARC-CO payment
for corn. This can be a very
difficult concept for most
producers, ag advisors,
and others to understand.
It is important to remember that 2015 ARCCO payment estimates
will change, if the 2015
MYA prices for corn and
soybeans change in the
coming months. Producers should contact their
local Farm Service Agency
(FSA) office for details on
the farm program. Kent

Think Retirement Now
for the year the contribution is made, while a Roth
IRA offers tax-free growth,
meaning you owe no tax
when you make withdrawals in retirement.
While you may feel

New Year’s Savings Strategies for Millennials
(StatePoint) Ask any
financial expert what the
ideal age is to start saving
money and you’re likely
to get the same response:
“now.” Even at an entrylevel salary, it is critical
to start 2016 on the right
foot and begin paving the
way to financial freedom
by setting aside money for
short–term needs such as
a vacation or an emergency, or longer-term goals
like retirement.
“Having a savings strategy is crucial to a person’s
overall financial well-being,” says Diane Morais,
chief executive officer and
president of Ally Bank,
member FDIC. “There are
simple steps Millennials
can take to ensure that
they are not only saving,
but maximizing the earnings potential of their nest
eggs.”
When it comes to designing a savings plan,
Millennials should consider the following tips.
Choose Your
Bank Wisely
Look for a savings account that doesn’t require a minimum deposit
to open, doesn’t charge
monthly

fees, offers a competitive
interest rate, and ideally,
compounds interest daily.

over after other expenditures. To build savings
consistently and faster,
treat savings as a mandatory expense in your overall budget.
Consider opening an
online account to “automate” saving money and
take advantage of rates
that tend to be more competitive than their brickand-mortar counterparts.
Specify Savings
Once you’ve found
a bank with no maintenance fees or minimum
deposit requirements, you
can establish separate accounts for your special
goals. Some banks will
even allow you to assign

Making a Choice

Darwin Anthony, Business Owner, Artist, Writer
The Car Chaser
The cousin of a Norwegian farmer that I described in an earlier article
titled “The Chain” lived
along the same river as
the Norwegian farmer. He
lived on a farm with a long
lane. The building site was
nestled within the giant
trees on the banks of the
river.
I had followed the same
approach as I had used on
all of the clients of the former insurance agent. I introduced myself and tried
to find a “thread to follow”
in conversation. The cousin was a pleasant man and
seemed to like visitors. He
lived in a lonely place during a lonely time as this
happened before many
farmers had television. He
too had asked me to sit at
a picnic table. A collie dog
sat on the ground near
him. He patted the head
of the collie as a gesture of
love for such a dog.
We reviewed his crop
hail policy information
and he signed the renewal application. A sense
of satisfaction came over
me for I had maintained
two of the many accounts
my predecessor had. Our
conversation turned to
the subject of his cousin
and how he had showed
me the embedded chain
in the tree. I could sense
that this man was also very
proud of his heritage.
I thanked him for allowing me the opportunity
to meet him and for allowing our agency to write his
crop hail insurance, went
PAGE 13
to the car and started to
drive down the lane. I was
driving the 1964 ½ Mustang at that time. Each of
the Mustang wheel covers
had a three-fingered extended center, which was
standard equipment on
that model. It was when
I was driving down the
lane that I saw it coming.
The collie dog was A CAR
CHASER and when it got
near the front wheel it
started to bite at the wheel.
The fingers on the wheel
covers must have caught
it in a certain way. I saw
the dog roll down into the
road ditch and over a bank
that separated the road
ditch from the woods. It
seemed to roll without
life as it disappeared over
the edge. I was instantly
sick. What had I done?
All of the good had been
wiped out by something
that I had no control over.
I was sure that I had lost
this client and his cousin.
Surely they would hold me
responsible for what had
happened to the dog.
I drove up the lane the
next spring to be greeted
by the same dog. A CAR
CHASER had survived the
ordeal.
Making a Choice
Life is a series of choices! It is something that we
all learned early. If you
make the wrong decision,
you live with the consequences.
I was very young and
supposed to be taking a
nap. My bedroom was one
of the upstairs bedrooms
of our farmhouse. My bedroom window was near a
porch roof. I planned my
escape! Who wanted to
be cooped up in a hot upstairs bedroom on a perfectly wonderful summer
day? I was going threshing! Taking naps was for
sissies!
I remember MAKING A
CHOICE! I crawled out of
my bedroom window and
slid down a lighting rod cable to the ground. My pony
was in a small pasture
near the house. I bridled
the pony and rode to the
neighbor’s place to watch
the threshing. I could see
the many bundle racks
and teams of horses in the
field. I could see the dust
as it rose above the giant
threshing machine. I had
to be there! I just knew that
my father would think it
was a great idea. What my
mother would think was a
whole different matter!
My father had driven
his team and bundle rack
to a neighbor’s farm that
morning. I had heard
my parents talking about
which of the neighbors he
would be threshing at.
What could be more
exciting than threshing?
All of the horses, wagons,
powerful men, the sounds
of the threshing machine,
all the turning pulleys, the
long belt that flapped as it
turned when powering the
thresher, and the noise of
the tractor captivated me.
Watching the threshing
was like a dream to me. I
could make believe that I
was one of the many men
who worked on the harvesting crew. I loved to
watch!
MAKING A CHOICE
was quite easy that day. I
did it! I went to the neighbor’s place to watch the
activity. Everything was
going well until my mother discovered that I was
gone. She knew where I
was! She checked the pasture for the pony and noticed that it was gone. A
sure sign!
She drove the car to the
neighbor’s farm. I saw her
coming up the driveway!
She had that look in her
eye – she didn’t like what
I had done. She asked me
to get off the pony and get
in the car. She went over to
talk to my father. He tied
the pony to a fence post.
He was to bring the pony
home that evening by tying it behind his bundle
rack and leading it home.
I remember the ride
home. Even though I was
very young, I remember
the way that I was disciplined. I expected something much worse! My
mother spoke of choices.
She told me that when I
made a choice, I had to
weigh whether it was the
right choice. She asked
if I thought I had made a
good choice. I knew that
I hadn’t! She took me upstairs to finish the nap. She
left it at that.
I still think of this incident when MAKING
A CHOICE! My mother
knew a lot about children.
Helping Veterans Cope
With Financial Issues
by Blake Allison
(NAPS)—If you are a
servicemember or veteran facing financial struggles, you’re not alone—
and help is available.
The Problem
A sampling of security clearance hearings
from the Defense Office
of Hearings and Appeals
found that about 50 percent of clearance denials involved “financial
considerations.” And in
recent Blue Star Families’
Military Family Lifestyle
Surveys, 41 percent of
respondents listed pay/
benefits as one of their
top three military family
life issues. Additionally,
84 percent of respondents who mentioned
pay and benefits said that
they were having trouble
making ends meet or felt
their servicemembers’
military pay was low,
and 65 percent said they
experience stress related
to their current financial
condition.
While there are a lot
of resources available to
the military community
to overcome these challenges, many servicemembers or veterans
may not know which are
relevant or how to access
the ones that are.
A New Solution
A financial education program for veterans,
servicemembers
and their families called
VALOR, or Veterans Assistance for Learning,
Opportunity & Readiness, can help. It features
an online tool known
as LifeCents that offers
veterans a free financial
health assessment focused on helping them
understand the factors
affecting their financial
well-being. This preventative financial education
program can help you
understand and identify
threats to your financial
security before they become serious. Created
by a team of experts in
the field of consumer financial education at Financial Education & Literacy Advisers (FELA), it
personalizes the learning
experience to make it relevant and rewarding.
PRA Group, a financial services company
that helps customers
resolve their debt, provided financial support
to launch VALOR as a resource for servicemembers, veterans and their
families to overcome financial challenges and
gain long-term financial
security.
Veterans,
servicemembers and their families can take the first step
toward achieving financial independence by
signing up for LifeCents
to get their free personalized financial health
assessment and guide to
resources most relevant
to them at http://valor

near Delft, MN, where she
attended grade school and
high school. Following her
education, Marion attended DeLyles Beauty School
and worked as a hair stylist
following her graduation.
Marion was united in
marriage to Paul Nowak
and the couple made their
home in Mankato prior to
moving to Blue Earth in
1953. To this union, five
children were born, Susan,
Diane, James, Gary and
Gina. Marion was a hard
worker, working as a waitress and also working at
Armours Foods and Telex
before her retirement.
Marion was a member
of the Fairmont Baptist
Church in Fairmont. She
loved her church and her
church family and was
very thankful to those that
made sure she had a ride
to church on Sunday. In
her spare time, Marion enjoyed watching old movies

and Cremation Service of
Fairmont assisted the family with arrangements.
Raymond
William
Prochniak was born on
May 5th, 1925 near Waldorf in Blue Earth County,
MN, to Edward and Josephine (Borowiak). He was
raised on the family farm
with his 5 siblings and attended country school
through the 8th grade.
With his father in failing
health, Ray relocated with
the family to Los Angeles,
CA to seek more suitable
weather for his father’s
condition. While in California, at the age of 17, Ray
enlisted in the armed forces to help serve his country
in WWII. Ray served his
country for 25 months as
an armaments specialist
and B-24 Ball Turret Gunner. Ray served in the Asiatic-Pacific Theatre where
he flew 41 bombing missions and earned numerous service medals for his
valor.
Upon the passing of his
father and his subsequent
release from the service,
Ray returned and settled
in Fairmont to make his
home and living. He was
baptized in 1947 at St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church.
Ray enjoyed countless odd
jobs including carpenter,
cab driver, truck driver,
bouncer,
lumberyard
worker, sales clerk and
farmer’s hand. In 1950 Ray
joined the Fairmont Police
Department as a Police Officer where he served for 25
years, followed by 11 years
of service as a jailer for the
Martin County Sherriff’s
Department.
On May 24th, 1953 Ray
married the love of his life,
Betty LaVonne Sloneker at
St. John’s United Church of
Christ in Fairmont where
they remained lifelong
members. Ray and Betty
built their dream home on
Oak Beach Drive on the SE
shore of Budd Lake. They
adopted their two infant
children; Bruce in 1960
and Shelley in 1964. Ray
and Betty were blessed
with 55 years of marriage
until Betty’s passing in
2009.
Ray was an eternal optimist. When it looked like
rain, he’d say “it’s going
around”. He loved and supported Bruce’s stock car
racing and Shelley’s musical endeavors. In his retirement, Ray enjoyed volunteering as a driver for the
Veterans Hospital Services.
His hobbies included fishing at sunset, watching and
feeding birds and snowmobiling. He was a member of the Blizzard Snowmobile Club, and enjoyed
“Card Club” and “Grub
Club” with Betty and their
numerous friends. Late-inlife he became a soccer fan
and supported the Fairmont Soccer Association
in many ways.
Left to cherish his
memory are his two children, Bruce Prochniak and
his wife, Diane of Pequot
Lakes, MN, and Shelley

Kinship Holds Annual Christmas Party
The holidays were a
blessed time for Kinship!
Our Christmas Party
was held December 6th at
the Knights of Columbus
Hall in Fairmont. We had a
blast there and greatly enjoyed the wonderful facilities! We are so grateful to
the Knights for allowing us
to use the hall. Fabulous
gifts were generously do-
nated by the MN Trucker’s
Association for all of our
mentees.
Santa Claus even made
an appearance for the kids
and posed for photos! Kinship mentees were able to
pick out a gift for themselves and some even
opted to pick out a gift
for a sibling rather than
for themselves. This truly
made the Christmas Party
magical! Steve Hawkins
organized fun and games
for the mentors and mentees to enjoy, one of which
involved tasting baby food
and guessing the contents
(the kids loved it!). The
basketball game of Lightning was a total hit!
Creative crafts were
run by our very own men-
tor, Ann Osborn, and our
Board Member, Linda Maday. The kids got to decorate a Christmas ornament
and make reindeer out
of their handprints! Our
amazing Kinship Board of
Directors provided a delicious meal for everyone,
took photos throughout
the event, helped set up
and take down decora-
tions, and ensured the entire activity ran smoothly.
In addition to our
Christmas Party, an anonymous Secret Santa donated funds to Kinship
to be divided up among
some of our Kinship families to make the Christmas
season brighter. This money was used to purchase
clothing, shoes, groceries,
Christmas gifts, and much
more for our mentees and
their families. Kinship is
so blessed to have this
opportunity to spread joy
during the holidays.
Thank you to everyone
who made this holiday
season amazing for Kinship!
